boobs keep getting bigger

Okay, this might not sound like a *bad* problem to have, but I'm feeling very confused. I've always been small. Well, not tiny but I've never really had curves or anything. I wear a 34B bra, and I used to always buy the pushup bras. Last year at this time (11/2005), I was wearing size 5 jeans and needed pushup bras. Now I am wearing size 7 in some jeans, size 10 in AE jeans, and size 10 in worthington (jcpenney misses) dress pants. My tshirts are fitting snugger (size medium) because my boobs are seemingly bigger. I'm also getting a more defined hourglass shape. I'm now starting to buy size large in my tops. I'm currently 23 (will turn 24 in January). I wore smaller clothes in college (I graduated 12/2005), so maybe it was all the bad campus food and the fact that my classes were so far away that I was skinnier. I weighed 120 lbs last year, and I'm at 140 lbs now. I've been on ortho tri cyclen for 3 years, sometimes I've been on the lo, and sometimes just the regular, depending on what my insurance would cover. (BTW, I am very careful with birth control and I am not pregnant) It's crazy that my body changed so much in a year. When I'm not wearing a bra, I'll lean forward and have the sensation of boobs against my rib cage, which is a crazy sensation. Now, my question is....am I just gaining weight, or is this something that happens to everyone around this age? I guess I'm just confused because I figured it would have all happened around 18/19 years old. Is it normal for boobs to grow in a 6 month time period? I swear, back in May/June 2006, they weren't this big. Aaaah, okay I'll stop now. TIA.

It's definitely normal for breasts to grow in a 6 month period when accompanied by weight gain, even if you're not a teenager anymore. Girls losing a lot of weight have the reverse problem--very suddenly, smaller boobs, even if they're in their 20's or 30's.
It sounds like your overall weight gain/body shape shift has more to do with lifestyle and maturing than with HBC. If you've been on OTC for three years and the curves are appearing as of this year, it might just be your body developing. It's normal for women's bodies to keep changing well past their teenage years. You don't say how tall you are, but 140 lbs may be a healthy weight for you to have, especially if it comes with a nice hourglass shape :)
